Throwing out Tn Tech and UMass, our first half points were 6, 3, 7, 14, 27, 23, 6, 7, 17, 0, 3, 3. In only 4 games, did we get reasonable production in the first half.
In past years, we were often up by 14-21 points at halftime. At that point, it allows you to substitute more freely and run the ball more with attitude, and wear the other team down gradually, because they're forced to pass. Without that early production, we can't do Kirby's boa constrictor complimentary football. We spent most of the season playing from behind or in fights deep into the fourth quarter.
And with that type of lack of point production, it's amazing that we won the SEC.
But it will have to get fixed going forward.
